Crafting Doesn’t Pay the Bills

But I sure wish it did! It’s my absolute passion {aside from teaching kids}. If all of my crafting paid the bills, I would do it all day, every day. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. Because of that, I am behind on my crafting projects. All of my projects get the back burner, which really disheartens me. I SO want to make time for my creativeness, but in the peak of school I am utterly exhausted.

I always have such big plans for holiday décor, but I fail miserably. There’s just not enough time in the day to get everything done. I love my summer off just as much as the next person, but I do believe that I would rather have more time off in the fall. It’s so much more enjoyable to me than summer! I know everyone won’t agree with me on that, but heat makes me miserable. At least during the fall season, it’s not the unbearable heat that we suffer through during the summer months.

Speaking of holiday décor, I am very disappointed that the stores around here are not breaking out the fall décor. However, when October rolls around, we’ll break out the Christmas decorations. What’s with that? I can’t even decorate now that I want to because there’s no where in this small town to find anything. Maybe sooner than later it will appear before my very eyes!

I apologize for the rant tonight, but I am in desperate need of some through and through fall weather and activities!!! Bring on the s’mores, cooler weather {not too cold}, an evening fire, and snuggling! Talk about an ideal date! That’s all this girl needs in the world right now!

Maybe….just maybe…I’ll be able to pull some crafts out of my hat over the weekend. It will certainly make me smile if I’m able to do something!
